Platycladi Cacumen may help treat hair loss by targeting specific proteins and pathways.
research New Drugs: Eculizumab
Eculizumab helps reduce blood transfusions and stabilize hemoglobin but increases infection risk and is expensive.
research COMBINATION OF AN ANTIANDROGEN AND A 5α-REDUCTASE INHIBITOR: A FURTHER STEP TOWARDS TOTAL ANDROGEN BLOCKADE?
Using two drugs together, Flutamide and 4-MA, is more effective for blocking male hormones than using each one alone.
research PNU 157706, a novel dual type I and II5α-reductase inhibitor
PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Exploring the molecular mechanism of Polygonum multiflorum in treating androgenic alopecia based on the methods of bioinformatics and molecular docking
Polygonum multiflorum may help treat hair loss but can be toxic to the liver.
research Teicoplanin alleviates androgenetic alopecia through inhibition of androgen receptor expression and enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation
Teicoplanin may help treat hair loss by reducing androgen receptors and boosting hair cell growth.
research Hair growth-promoting activity of ginsenoside Rf from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, an industrial crop-derived functional material
Ginsenoside Rf from Panax ginseng promotes hair growth and could be a natural alternative for treating hair loss.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Bioavailability of Albumin-Bound Testosterone†
Spironolactone treatment increases the amount of testosterone available in the body.
research Testosterone-like immunoreactivity in hair measured in minute sample amounts - a competitive radioimmunoassay with an adequate limit of detection
The new test can measure very small amounts of testosterone in hair, and grinding the hair up first gives more accurate results.
research Bad Hair Day: Testosterone and Wnts
Testosterone can both promote hair growth and cause baldness by affecting hair growth signals.
research Modulating testosterone pathway: a new strategy to tackle male skin aging?
Honokiol might help reduce male skin aging by maintaining testosterone levels.
research QSAR Analysis of a Series of Hydantoin‐based Androgen Receptor Modulators and Corresponding Binding Affinities
Researchers developed reliable models to predict how well certain compounds bind to androgen receptors, emphasizing the importance of atomic electronegativity.
research Safety of testosterone treatment in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.
research Anti-androgenic and Hair Growth Promoting Activities of Lygodii Spora (Spore of Lygodium japonicum) I. Active Constituents Inhibiting Testosterone 5.ALPHA.-Reductase.
Lygodii Spora extract may help treat hair loss by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and promoting hair growth.
research Is the metabolism of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone required for androgen action in the skin?
Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.
research The use of testosterone after menopause
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual satisfaction and mood in surgically menopausal women when used with estrogen, but its long-term safety and effects on naturally menopausal and premenopausal women are unclear.
research British Menopause Society Tools for Clinicians: Testosterone replacement in menopause.
Testosterone replacement can help menopausal women with various symptoms, but should be used carefully and is not yet officially licensed in the UK for women.
research Effectiveness of the Mentha spicata leaves in reducing testosterone levels and aggressive behaviour in female Wistar albino rats treated with testosterone propionate
Mentha spicata leaves lower testosterone and aggression in female rats.
research Elevated Free Testosterone Levels in Women With Acne
Some women with acne have higher levels of free testosterone, which might suggest using hormonal treatments for acne.
research A Novel Point Mutation in the Ligand-Binding Domain (LBD) of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor (hGR) Causing Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance: The Importance of the C Terminus of hGR LBD in Conferring Transactivational Activity
A new mutation in the human glucocorticoid receptor reduces its function and causes resistance to glucocorticoids.
research A Review: Proteins Involved in the Major Symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Understanding proteins linked to PCOS symptoms can improve diagnosis and treatment.
research Saturable Binding of Finasteride to Steroid 5α-reductase as Determinant of Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics
Finasteride's effect on hair loss and prostate enlargement depends on its binding to an enzyme, with maximum impact at 0.2 mg dose.
